It's not just recommending players, though. You have to convince the club to put all of their efforts into getting the player. IIRC, United and plenty of other clubs wanted Bale at the time, but Spurs spent big and put a lot of effort into prizing the player away. Who's to say that, if it wasn't for Comolli going in for him, Spurs would still have gone for Bale? They could well have gone for another player.

People laud Wenger over signing players like Fabregas, van Persie and the like, but all of these players had shown outstanding attributes at the level they played at, which makes them a bit of a 'no brainer' if you end up seeing them at that level; however, sometimes it's more than just spotting a player.

Comolli made mistakes at Spurs, anyone denying so is numb, but he also signed some fantastic players, like Modric, Berbatov and even Gomes.

I wasn't slagging the bloke off. It was more a comment on the Dodo fella saying that Bale rules all. Bale was clearly too good to stay at Southampton.

Pippooooo!!!
Pepe is a strange one. Undeniably fantastic player but loses his rag at the slightest.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Wed Nov 03, 2010 9:24 pm  

Casillas is having a 'mare, Inzaghi still has enough about him to take advantage.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Wed Nov 03, 2010 9:45 pm  

Shocker from both Pepe and Casillas for Milan's first but the second was clearly offside. A point was the least deserved, nice finish from Pedro Leon through Abbiati's legs.

Milan look so poor it's ridiculous. That's the third time I've seen them in Europe this year and the third time I've been disappointed.

I've seen them twice, both games against Madrid, and like you I've been very disappointed. They easily lost to two early goals in Madrid and they definately should've lost tonight, it could've easily been 3 by half time. A defeat would've been a travesty. Gattuso still gives everything, Prince-Boateng is playing well when he's on, Pato and Thiago Silva look good but there's not much else happening. I've never been a fan of Ibrahimovic.
